From day one, I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! fans hoped there would be a rumble in the jungle between two of the genetically-blessed contestants.
And on Saturday, lingerie model Simone Holtznagel fuelled rumours of a blossoming romance between herself and former AFL star Josh Gibson.
Simone’s Twitter page was updated over the weekend with a cheeky poll for fans, which asked the question: ‘What do you guys think… Australia’s next power couple?’

In the season premiere two weeks ago, chivalrous Josh was seen carrying Simone, 24, in his arms so she didn’t get her dress and heels wet in the muddy puddles.
Fans soon began tweeting their admiration for the former Hawthorn footballer, 33, and expressed hope that he would begin dating Simone in the jungle.
The Twitter poll quickly began racking up votes, and Simone’s account – which is being managed by her friend Madge – later commented: ‘It’s a YES from us!’
